LW not even human houseguests with canine tendencies?

Nope. We don't have a spare bed for a good reason!:D

I have a bit more work to do online (some kind of voting form from my bank) and Mr LW is doing the ironing.

Hopefully then the bedroom curtains I washed this morning will be dry and can go back up (we're in deep doo-doo if they can't as we're in a bungalow, and the bedroom faces out onto the road at the front).:eek:

Then, if it's not too late, we'll get the scooter out, and go for a wee trundle round where we do dog walking, just for a change.:j

Soappie~~lovely photos thank you

Pigpen~~ is she back home yet, is she still hungry??

LW~~ ring is great ty, collected it after carbooting at the Bowl, arrive in the posh shop in CMK, looking very untidy, but hey ho, I'll do you a piccy tomorrow, I don't have a posh iphone of what ever you need, and my camera download cable is in my office, but be warned it is nothing flashy or over the top, but it is special to me as OH chose it

Car booting was good so please with what I sold this weekend, but running out of stuff, so later on today when OH gets back from work, off for a rumage in the loft / dinning room / spare bedroom.

Cat is watching a wasp flying in the window, doh...........just hope it flies out before he catches it and gets stung.

MissA~ how all the cakes were ok and the vicar / DH likes them.

Just eaten cheese salad ready for weigh in tomorrow morning....I am about 8lbs behind my target, which I am not pleased about, my eye test at Stoke manderville this week has come back it blah blah..... very low risk of any damage to your eyes from type 2.........so that is good news, then the letter went on to tell me all eye tests in future at any opticians would be free of change, so a result or what......very mse!!

Right of to do the ironing, then out in the garden for a snooze....................

Catch you all later, hugs if you need on xxxxx

LW sometimes wish I didn't have any spare rooms. Unfortunately everyone knows I have (3).

Off to South of France for DH to go cave diving over Easter. I'm cooking for 8 days for 8 people. I love cooking but think I might have bitten off a bit much this time.

Hope the curtains are dry in time

afternoon everyone
A huge Thank you to AnW'sMum for keeping you all posted with progress.
Thank you so much for all your kind wishes it is very thoughtful of you all.xxxxxxxxxxxx:A
I AM IN!!!!!! everything was moved by lunchtime and by mid afternoon there was only one room in chaos! It will probably be that way for a while but its the spare room so doesnt matter too much. The weather is glorious so thanks for all the posi vibes they def worked - if anything its toooooooooo hot!!!! Had my first visitors today - my frien C and her hubby arrived unexpectedly and they approve of my new abode - they say it feels more homely than the flat.
I have been eating outside and sitting in the garden and there is washing out - its great. Loads of unpacking still to do and find homes for things but I am trying very hard to deal with things as I put my hand on them - not cherry picking the jobs!!! It will take time but as AnW'sMum says it has all happened in 7 days!

I have met all 4 immediate neighbours and 2 of the ladies have the same first name as me and thats quite unusual!!! my neighbours either side are just slightly older than me and the 2 across the road a bit older again and they all seem really nice.

I tried to get online last night but was mega tired and the laptop need updating and then firefox wouldnt let me into the forum - it still wont so I am on IE instead.

happy holidays to all the teachers:j
triker hope this week is better for you honey xx
vanilla hope you are enjoying your new look
Rebob painfree vibes for woofy
kazw if your items of interest can raise £150k you must live in a treasure trove - can I come and help - for a small commission?:rotfl:
soappie sorry to hear that things have been rough - hope it all improves very soon - the kittens are adorable
mudders hello honey - what bus will stripes be on - the garden is perfect and the park is 2 mins away!!!!!
Mrs_B why dont you put your statement about work - or a version of it in your signature strip and then you will see it with every post???
chocolateteddy welcome to the thread and get ready to jump in on the new thread this evening - you know you can do it:D
Dusty hello honey - could you make a little space in your inbox I was trying to send you a pm yest or friday.

I see HRH is away in foreigh parts until later this evening so thats fine as I have my tea around 6 I think - have mislaid the rota in the move! I need to charge the lappy as well so will be back on after 8 for new thread.

have just had my friend's sister and BiL in and they want it!!! she liked the inside and he likes the outside- perfect combination!!!

right havent done much unpacking today so had better go and do a little and find my Toots list and see whats been done in the move.

have a lovely day peeps
love and hugs
toots xx

cat_smith

toots congrats on the move. Glad that it was relatively 'stress free';)

Am amazed at the amount of unpacking you seem to have done. We lived at our last place for 4 years and never unpacked all the boxes. (Wasn't flying then obviously:D)

vanilla

Yay Toots well done on the move and thank you, yes i'm enjoying my new look, now i just need a new wardrobe..:rotfl:

We've all had a lovely walk round the forest park and Rhys managed most of it, he's now having a snooze. Kids out jumping about and washing line full.

Toots - glad to hear things went smoothly and that your new place is more homely. You certainly had the weather for a move and time in the garden Wow, at the neighbours with the same name - how unusual!

I hope you will be truely happy in your new home :A

Love and prayers xx
